A Cute Little Guy

Hello everyone!! I have a little treat for your tonight. First of all, I received my first shipment of rubber, and have many of The Pixie Cottage stamps now in stock.

Secondly, anyone that knows me, knows that I adore cute little girlie stamps, pink paper, ribbon and lots of flowers. I have a hard time making a scrapbook page for my boys, or a male themed card. So .... sometimes things get overlooked in my mind... cute little boy stamps, scenery stamps, and anything overly rugged or manly. Oh, don't worry I haven't neglected my handsome sons, it is just that they are grown and out of the house. However, my princess is right here to keep all the girly accoutrements fresh in my mind, and there just must be a froo-froo girl hidden deep down inside me somewhere.

So without further ado, I want show you some of the non-girly stamps!

First is a cute little vampire by Tricia Moore. He goes nicely with her Little Witchy stamp.

I also have to share one of my favorite stamps. The Dock by Sandra Hammer. This stamp is the perfect size to accommodate all your Tilda stamps (you see you can make this girly too! LOL), or it would be perfect alone. It is a larger size stamp, and will be a lot of fun to color.

So there you have it, some great images for everyone to enjoy.

I will have several new images to share in another week or so along with the names of the Design Team members.

Have a great night/day

Michelle

Well I can hardly stand it anymore I have to share

I have been going crazy wanting to show you my new stamps. I have gotten several cards done with them so I will show you one. I should have the stamps made and packaged and ready to sell within a month. I will be looking for a design team soon also. Let me know what you think.
